Rusinga Island Lodge boasts an ideal setting on the shores of Lake Victoria with beautiful lawns stretching down to the water’s edge. Lake Victoria is the world’s second-largest freshwater lake (Lake Superior being the largest).
Kisumu Town is 350 kilometers north of Nairobi on the shores of Lake Victoria and 53 km from Kakamega, 83 km from Kericho, 121 kilometers from Kisii, and 142 kilometers from Homa Bay.
The most convenient way to reach Rusinga is by private air charter directly to Rusinga’s airstrip which is adjacent to the lodge’s impressive entrance and where you are greeted with ice-cold towels and refreshing, homemade lemonade.
Alternatively, you can take the daily scheduled flights from Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to Kisumu where African Spice can meet you and drive to the lodge. The journey takes 3 hours and a 45-minute ferry ride across Lake Victoria. En route, you’ll see impressive Cambrian rock formations.
Rusinga’s accommodation comprises nine self-contained cottages plus a family cottage with a twin room and a double room with an interconnecting door. With their high-thatched roofs, spacious verandahs overlooking lush gardens, and the sparkling waters of Lake Victoria and beyond.
Bedrooms are either double (with a king-size bed) or twin (with two queen-size beds) with a living area and dressing area. Oversized, en-suite bathrooms have double basins and walk-in, ‘soup-plate’ showers.
Rusinga Island Lodge is renowned for hospitality; delicious home-grown, home-cooked food and indulgent accommodation combine to offer an ideal home from which to explore other areas of East Africa.
Rusinga’s spacious grounds offer a safe environment for children to release energy and the more active to catch up on exercise. For those wishing to relax, Rusinga’s Wellness Spa offers a nurturing retreat in which to unwind and relax.
On the lake, guests may enjoy invigorating water sports and, for the keen fisherman, Lake Victoria’s shallow waters are home to legendary Nile perch growing up to 300lbs. Even the most reluctant fisherman can reap gratification by casting off the jetty at sunset for abundant tilapia.
